Newly Listed: Black and Silver Speed of Light Wrap Bracelet

As I said on Twitter, I want to call this wrap bracelet "disco physics sciart." The silver-colored cubes are flashy (literally—they're quite reflective) and funky, and spell out the speed of light (in a vacuum) (in m / s). The black Czech glass beads act as muted, understated spacers between each digit. It's a look that's aggressive and futuristic.

Maybe I'm just in a Rihanna sort of mood, but I think this bracelet would totally suit her glam eclectic look. Wouldn't it though?

Pay no attention to the manicure in need of a touch-up.

I don't know why I have Rihanna on the brain in this post. I don't really care for more than a handful of her songs. I guess I've just been itching for really angry, aggressive songs about money in the face of CSN arbitrarily and without notice pushing back my study stipend deposits."BBHMM" is a pretty good way to scratch that itch. So is Barrett Strong:

I try to take an attitude of mindfulness and gratitude: there's so much that I do have and I shouldn't lose sight of that. But I do not appreciate my money being jerked around for no good reason that I can find or that they can give. Hopefully it'll be sorted by this week, though.

I like it too and I'm bummed that I don't have enough silver beads for another one!

I will get my $$ eventually but it's apparently going to involve playing phone tag with my school and the government department in charge of the $$ (CSN). It's like...I HATE making phone calls, but when it's something serious like this I also hate the time delay of email. No good choice!
